REVIEW of N Litinas, O.Cret.Chers.

Nikos Litinas, Greek Ostraca from Chersonesos, Crete: Ostraca Cretica Chersonesi (O.Cret.Chers.). Tyche. Supplementband; 6.   Wien:  Holzhausen, 2008.  Pp. 81, [3]; 45 p. of plates.  ISBN 9783854931645.  €39.00 (pb).

Reviewed by Patrick James, The Greek Lexicon Project, University of Cambridge (pj221@cam.ac.uk)
Table of Contents
Litinas presents an admirable edition of ninety Greek ostraca from Chersonesos on Crete and dated to the second or third century AD. Photographs for every ostracon are included. These texts are of interest not least because they represent the first archive of documents written in ink to be found within "today's Hellenic territory" (p. 5). The comprehensive introduction is particularly valuable for its thorough examination of the context of these ostraca, the questions that they raise, and the data that they contribute for the study of numismatics, palaeography and scribal practices, onomastics (and linguistics generally), and the economy of Roman Crete. Litinas' treatment of all of these subjects will be discussed in turn.
The texts themselves represent records, in two formats (Text-types A and B), of quantities of an unspecified commodity associated with nine individuals. As such, the texts are short to the point of obscurity and might seem of very little use. Type A contains only a Roman date (usually without a month), personal names in the nominative, a number of units of the commodity, an abbreviation for that quantity, the number repeated in alphanumeric form, and a total. The fifteen type B ostraca contain only a Roman date, the names of either or both of two persons in the nominative or (rarely) the dative (nos. 79-81), and then amounts of currency. Only no. 31 has a type A text on one side and a type B on the other. There is no clear socio-economic context and the internal evidence presents some puzzles, such as the abbreviations με() in type A and X (struck-through) and χ in type B, as well as the identity of the commodity itself. Also, short texts do not offer much evidence for the morphology or syntax of Koine Greek. Nevertheless, Litinas' examination of these ostraca is a thorough, cautious, and well-documented example of how such texts should be studied and the significant contributions they can offer. My few comments are intended to reinforce the value of this archive and the quality of Litinas' treatment.
Litinas plausibly dates the archive to the period from 150 to 250 AD (or to 300 or 350 AD, although he considers these later dates to be less likely) by drawing together the evidence of the archaeological context (inconclusive beyond 100-300 AD), the Roman dates and (imperial) names, numismatics (denominations and purchasing power), and palaeography. The discussion of letter forms makes up the bulk of this section and of the Introduction (five pages of a thirty-page introduction, with a further two on attributing the ostraca to different scribes).

G. BODARD, S. MAHONY, Digital Research in the Study of Classical Antiquity

Edited by Gabriel Bodard, King’s College, London, UK and Simon Mahony, University College London, UK

Series : Digital Research in the Arts and Humanities

This book explores the challenges and opportunities presented to Classical scholarship by digital practice and resources. Drawing on the expertise of a community of scholars who use innovative methods and technologies, it shows that traditionally rigorous scholarship is as central to digital research as it is to mainstream Classical Studies. The chapters in this edited collection cover many subjects, including text and data markup, data management, network analysis, pedagogical theory and the Social and Semantic Web, illustrating the range of methods that enrich the many facets of the study of the ancient world. This volume exemplifies the collaborative and interdisciplinary nature that is at the heart of Classical Studies.

Inscriptions of Israel/Palestine (Brown Unviersity)

Blurb: 

The Inscriptions of Israel/Palestine project seeks to collect and make accessible over the Web all of the previously published inscriptions (and their English translations) of Israel/Palestine from the Persian period through the Islamic conquest (ca. 500 BCE - 640 CE). There are about 15,000 of these inscriptions, written primarily in Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek and Latin, by Jews, Christians, Greeks, and Romans. They range from imperial declarations on monumental architecture to notices of donations in synagogues to humble names scratched on ossuaries, and include everything in between.

There are approximately 1,500 inscriptions currently in the database, with more added regularly. These inscriptions can be accessed via the "Search" Button on the left.

Inscriptions of Israel/Palestine is an ongoing project at Brown University. It has been generously supported by the Center of Digital Scholarship and the Office of the Vice President of Research at Brown University. We welcome your feedback

CORPUS DEI PAPIRI STORICI GRECI E LATINI 

Fabrizio Serra editore, Pisa · Roma

Il volume pubblica l’edizione critica (con descrizione, testo originale, traduzione e commento) di dieci frammenti papiracei, di carattere narrativo, per i quali gli Editori hanno ipotizzato la provenienza da opere storiche riguardanti la persona e le vicende di Alessandro Magno. Si tratta di papiri di carattere letterario, databili tutti, tranne uno, tra il II secolo a.C. e il II secolo d.C. (per il PLaur IV 138 la data proposta è il IV secolo d.C.). I papiri contengono riferimenti sicuri ad Alessandro e/o a personaggi a lui legati e sono suscettibili di considerazioni storiche, per quanto riguarda il contenuto, e storiografiche, per quanto riguarda il genere o l'impostazione.
La traduzione, condotta con prudenza, perché la necessità di rispettare un testo greco frammentario, senza farvi aderire indebitamente impressioni personali, limita la capacità di rendere concetti e descrizioni, non va mai considerata disgiunta dal commento, all'interno del quale l’autrice ha valorizzato con maggiore libertà tutti gli spunti del testo e proposto una comprensione globale del senso. L’opera è chiusa da un capitolo finale che contiene un tentativo di bilancio del materiale esaminato e anche un ulteriore sviluppo di alcune questioni e discussioni, di cui si offrono comunque gli estremi nelle singole schede, questioni complesse o ampie che meglio si prestano ad essere riconsiderate ed inserite in una prospettiva di carattere generale sull'Alessandrografia.

A. BOUD'HORS et al., edd. Monastic Estates in Late Antique and Early Islamic Egypt: Ostraca, Papyri, and Studies in Honour of Sarah Clackson

Monastic Estates in Late Antique and Early Islamic Egypt: Ostraca, Papyri, and Studies in Honour of Sarah Clackson edited by Anne Boud'hors, James Clackson, Catherine Louis, and Petra Sijpesteijn Scholars and colleagues of Sarah Clackson honored her memory through a two-day symposium, "The Administration of Monastic Estates in Late Antique and Early Islamic Egypt," held at Christ Church, Oxford, 25-26 September 2004. This rich and varied volume presents the papers given at that symposium, plus four additional ones. The foreword presents a complete bibliography for Sarah Clackson and an essay examining her formative role in Coptic Studies up to the time of her premature death. The contributions consist of editions of previously unpublished ostraca and papyri, or of revised and expanded editions of previously published items (O.Clackson 1-34 and P.Clackson 35-50), and nine essays addressing socio-economic and religious issues that impacted the monastic communities of Egypt during Late Antiquity and the Early Islamic period. The volume concludes with the requisite indices: for the ostraca and papyri, indices nominum, rerum, et verborum, and a general index of topics for the commentaries on documents and the essays. Black-and-white images are provided for the ostraca and papyri.297p, 25 b/w pls. (American Society Papyrologists 2008)A. Bo

R. Phillips, In Pursuit of Invisibility: Ritual Texts from Late Roman Egypt

In Pursuit of Invisibility: Ritual Texts from Late Roman Egypt by Richard Phillips A close examination of invisibility in the context of the Greco-Roman world, from the role invisibility enjoys as a literary motif to the ritual spells whose logos and praxis in magic papyri promise the individual that he will move about unseen by others. Capping the six chapters investigating invisibility in fiction and in handbooks of magic, Phillips examines the relevant papyri, evaluating the Greek texts and translating them into English, as well as offering thorough commentary for each text (e.g. P.Oxy. LVIII 3931, and six examples drawn from the Papyri Graecae Magicae). Includes bibliographical references and pertinent indices of the Greek. 215p, 8 pls with 10 b/w images (American Society of Papyrologists 2009)

PREVIEW
A l'occasion du départ à la retraite de Bärbel Kramer, professeur de papyrologie à l'Université de Trèves, ses collègues, amis et disciples lui ont offert un beau volume de mélanges fait d'articles et d'éditions ou de rééditions de textes papyrologiques.
Voyons d'abord les éditions et rééditions de textes. P. Kramer 2 = P. Köln inv. 1233. Provenance inconnue, 3e s. de notre ère, édité par Robert Daniel. Fragment de papyrus contenant la fin de 10 lignes d'un charme pour obtenir victoire, faveur, gloire, succès. - P. Kramer 4 = P. Cairo inv. SR 3049 (40). Feuille de parchemin provenant d'un codex, Arsinoïte, 5e ou 6e s., éd. par Ursula et Dieter Hagedorn. Texte biblique: Daniel 7, 11-18. - P. Kramer 7 = P. Hamb. inv. 483r. Tebtynis, 26 mai - 30 juin 223, éd. par Thomas Kruse. Pétition à Aurélios Hermaïskos alias Hermaion, secrétaire royal des mérides de Thémistos et Polémon dans l'Arsinoïte. Le titre d'Hermaïscos pose problème. En effet, la réunion des deux mérides sous la tutelle d'un seul stratège est attestée depuis 136/137. En revanche, on ignore quand un seul secrétaire royal a exercé ses fonctions sur les deux mérides réunies. L'éditeur propose le court laps de temps qui s'étend de 217/218 à 222/223. - P. Kramer 8 = P. Mich. inv. 1711. Provenance non signalée, 2e moitié du 2e s., éd. par Nikos Litinas. Registre d'arbres. - P. Kramer 11 et 12 = Stud. Pal. I, page 2, no. II et P. Harrauer 42. Antinooupolis ( ?) et Hermoupolis, 299 et 339, réédition par Fritz Mitthof. Le premier papyrus contient les restes du compte rendu d'un procès dans lequel Démétria, fille de Polydeukès, intervient comme demanderesse. Le second porte une plainte d'Aurélia Démétria alias Ammonia relative au testament de son fils. L'éditeur établit que les deux Démétria ne font qu'une seule et même personne et dresse une liste des papyrus la concernant - P. Kramer 13 = Stud. Pal. III² 145 + CPR XXIV 19. Arsinoïton Polis ( ?), c. 546, rééd. par Bernhard Palme. Reconnaissance de dette. L'auteur retrace la carrière militaire de Fl. Ménodoros, officier desLeontoclibanarii et évalue ses biens immobiliers à Arsinoïton Polis. - P. Kramer 14 = P. Vindob. G. 43067. Provenance non signalée, 2e s., mais les 1er et 3e s. ne sont pas à rejeter. Fragment de papyrus comprenant au moins trois maximes des Sept Sages. - P. Kramer 15 = P. Berol. 9512.
